INTERSTATE 10 CLOSED DUE TO BRUSH FIRE NEAR BAGDAD/MILTON, FL… Heads up for folks driving westbound on Interstate 10 on this Tuesday afternoon. A brush fire near mile marker 23 (right near a construction zone too) has caused I-10 westbound to be shut down. Be aware of this if you’re traveling on I-10 today in Santa Rosa County. Thanks to Sean McAllister for the photo!

RAIN POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND… Scattered storms will be possible on Saturday into Sunday, quite similar to last weekend, although the overall risk of severe weather will probably be lower with this system. Good news!
We need the rainfall as drought conditions continue to have a hold on much of our region.
